This is almost as amazing and unlikely a pairing as December’s Paul McCartney/Nirvana supergroup. At last night’s NME Awards, former Smiths guitarist Johnny Marr, who just released a fantastic solo album, was joined by Ronnie Wood of The Rolling Stones for a performance of The Smiths‘ classic “How Soon Is Now?” Marr took the lead…
